The 12,000 square foot mission house in Guitton serves as a base for groups participating in service projects. SMI provides ministry opportunities for groups and individuals desiring to spend time in Haiti personally ministering to the Haitian people. For more information on the hosting program see the Mission Hosting information sheet.

SMI has participated in the construction of mission facilities, churches, schools and homes. Current projects include a new school in Saintard to replace the one damaged in the earthquake in partnership with Bellevue Baptist Church and a housing community adjacent to the school site in Saintard in partnership with The Fuller Center for Housing.

A contribution of $300 a year will pay for a student to go to school and purchase uniforms and books.

For the past two years SMI has provided the opportunity for Haitian youth to join with American youth for several days of worship, teaching, fellowship and sports activities. The program is expanding and will be open to additional American and Haitian youth next summer.

Since 2007 SMI has hosted annual conferences at the Pastors’ Retreat Center in Saintard for 100-120 women who come from across Haiti for three days of “Seminary.” The women have the opportunity to worship together, study the Word of God, receive health and hygiene instruction, make crafts and enjoy their sisters in Christ. Our desire is to help these women grow in Christ so they can return to their home churches equipped to minister to others. In 2010 we held our first conference in a local church for all of the women in the congregation.

Groups who participate in an SMI hosted mission trip have the opportunity to distribute food and clothing in local villages.

The clinics provide the opportunity for medical and support personnel from the States to minister to the physical needs of the Haitian people, most of whom do not have access to heath care or medical facilities.
